McCANDLESS (KDKA) — There was standing room only Monday night at a meeting of the McCandless Zoning Board as it considers a proposal by Walmart to build a store off McKnight Road.

The McCandless Planning Commission has already given the project the green light.

More than 100 people crowded into the meeting room, where Walmart officials made an hour-long presentation, saying the firm would spend several million dollars to upgrade and modernize traffic lights in the area of the new store to help mitigate the expected increase in traffic.
